OSHA's Voluntary Protection Program (VPP)

Arc flash safety is important, in particular because it has been largely ignored. However, arc flash safety is part of the larger safety picture.

OSHA has established the Voluntary Protection Program, also know as VPP, that looks at the "big picture" of safety. It is a safety and health management program that promotes and recognizes the efforts of employers and employees who have achieved outstanding safety and health records. In the OSHA VPP, management, labor and OSHA establish a partnership that results in a comprehensive and effective safety and health management system in each participating workplace.

The Safe Workplace web site provides more information about the Voluntary Protection Program.
